WHAT:LAUSD School Games is a partnership between Special Olympics Southern California and the Los Angeles Unified School District. Adapted Physical Education Teachers offer sports training and athletic competition programs for students with intellectual disabilities and other special needs. This year’s event will be the culmination of a six-week, soccer-training program that provides opportunities to learn through sports competition, and develop all aspects of total fitness needed to compete in any sport. The program also promotes the development of life-long fitness skills that will help student athletes lead a more productive and independent life.

The Adapted Physical Education Teacher conditions and trains the students on the Special Olympics soccer team and prepares them for interscholastic competition. The training and games take place during the school day as part of the student’s physical education instructional program.

WHO: Soccer teams from elementary and middle schools throughout the District.
